About this experience
Escape the hustle of Porto and discover Aveiro, one of Portugal’s most charming and photogenic destinations, on a relaxed small-group tour. Known as the “Venice of Portugal,” Aveiro is a charming coastal city waiting to be explored. Enjoy free time to wander through its picturesque canals, admire the elegant Art Nouveau architecture and soak up the lively atmosphere of its streets. Taste the famous local delicacy, ovos moles, browse the local shops or, if you wish, take an optional traditional moliceiro boat cruise through the city's scenic waterways. Continue along the Atlantic coast to Costa Nova, a vibrant seaside village known for its iconic striped houses and laid-back coastal atmosphere. Discover one of Portugal’s hidden gems with a visit to the stunning Church of Válega, famous for its richly decorated azulejo façade. Before returning back, stop at the remarkable Chapel of Senhor da Pedra, dramatically set on the rocks by the ocean — a truly unforgettable coastal landmark.

A beautiful trip not to be missed!
We did a full day tour visiting Costa Nova, Aveiro, Velega & Senhor de pedra. Our host for the day was Antonio who was really knowledgeable, spoke so many different languages which was really impressive! It was a small tour of 7 people, Aveiro was definitely my favourite, absolutely stunning place. We had a few hours there where we rode the Gondola, had lunch and had a look around, just beautiful. Costa Nova was gorgeous with all the striped houses. Velega is probably the most stunning church I have ever seen, the entire building covered in mosaic tiles both inside and out, breathtaking 😍 Senhor de Pedra was also beautiful, when the tide comes in making the church appear to be floating in the sea. A fantastic full day trip not be missed! Thank you Antonio!
Response from the operator: Dear Jayne, We're delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful day exploring the Aveiro and Costa Nova region with António. It's lovely to know that his knowledge and versatility helped make the experience so enjoyable, while still giving you the freedom to discover each place at your own pace. We're especially pleased that the day left such a lasting impression on you. Thank you very much for your lovely review and for choosing Oporto Road Trips! We hope to welcome you back to Portugal for another memorable adventure. Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips

Definitely worth booking
Luis was a lovely guide and the trip was great. Lots of free time to wander but Luis was on hand if you needed anything. He was full of useful information and very knowledgable. We especially loved art nouveau architecture hunting in Aveiro. Highly recommended

Perfect Reoadtrip to Aveiro and Costa Nova
Perfect tour started with really good communication where to meet, what to bring. Nice car with plenty of room, very clean. Luís, our guide, was very friendly, kind and well organised. Places to visit were perfect, interesting and we got lots of great tips from Luís. Hi could highly recommend this day tour to Aveiro. And you should definitely do the boat tour in Aveiro. Thank you, Luís and Oporto Road Trips!!

Excellent guide and tour with lots of free time and four interesting places to visit
We really enjoyed our day with Antonio to Aveiro, Costa Nova and the Atlantic coast. The van was very comfortable and Antonio's interesting commentary left us much wiser about so many things. He was kind and patient and gave us plenty of free time in each place, making helpful suggestions about things to see, places to eat etc. We were very fortunate as the two other passengers didn't turn up so it was like a private tour. I would highly recommend this company and Antonio Bras, the guide, in particular. Thank you for a great day out.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, It's wonderful to know that Antonio helped make the experience so enjoyable and that his knowledge, patience and thoughtful approach made you feel well looked after throughout the day. We truly appreciate your kind words about both Antonio and our team. Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips

Lovely small group tour
Lovely small group tour , informative guide and driver . Lots of interesting facts - would have preferred a shorter visit in Aveiro and a bit longer at the beach but only because the weather was so nice .

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Porto is not rushed.
Is Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Porto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aveiro, Costa Nova & Atlantic Coast: Full Day & Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Porto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Porto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Porto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
